Kit Devigny could have loved rock guitarist Noah St. John.
Their friendship burned with the promise of intense passion and searing
tenderness…until the night Noah deliberately shattered her heart.

Noah knows he destroyed something precious the night he
chose to betray Kit, but he’d rather she hate him than learn his darkest
secret. All he has left is his music. It’s his saving grace, but it doesn’t
silence the voices that keep him up at night. Chasing oblivion through endless
one-night-stands, he earns a few hours’ sleep and his bad boy reputation.

When a media error sees Noah and Kit dubbed the new “it”
couple, Kit discovers her chance at the role of a lifetime hinges on riding the
media wave. Wanting—needing—to give Kit this, even if he can’t give her
everything, Noah agrees to play the adoring boyfriend. Only the illusion is
suddenly too real, too painful, too beautiful…and it may be too late for the
redemption of Noah St. John.

Excerpt from ROCK REDEMPTION by

Nalini Singh

Kit groaned at the sound of her phone. Reaching out
blindly toward the nightstand, she hurled mental curses upon herself for
forgetting to turn it off so she could catch some uninterrupted sleep before
her four-a.m. makeup call.

It’d
be fun and great for her career, her agent had said when recommending Kit take
the superhero flick. Coming off two serious and emotionally wrenching projects,
Kit had taken Harper’s advice and jumped on board the high-budget, high-octane
venture. Unfortunately, Harper had forgotten to mention the four hours it would
take to put her into the head-to-toe makeup required for the role. Daily.

“What?”
she snarled into the phone without checking to see who it was.

“Hey,
Katie.”

Every
cell in her body snapped wide awake. Lifting her eyelids, she just stared at
the ceiling through gritty eyes. Her heart thumped, her throat moving
convulsively as she swallowed. She hated that he could still do this to her, hated it, but her visceral response to
Noah wasn’t something she could stop. She knew because she’d tried for the past
two years and three months.

“Noah,”
she said flatly. “Do you know what time it is?”

“Two
fifteen,” he answered.

Kit
should’ve hung up. God, he’d hurt her.
So much. But there was something in his voice that had her sitting up. “Are you
drunk?” One thing she knew about Noah: no matter his bad-boy rep, he was never wasted. He might give a good
indication of it, but look closely and those dark gray eyes were always sober.

“Probably.”
A silence, followed by, “I just wanted to hear your voice. Sorry for waking
you.”

“Wait,”
she said when he would’ve hung up. “Where are you?”

“Some
dive.” He took a deep breath, released it in a harsh exhale. “I’m sorry for
being an asshole. I wanted to tell you that. I don’t want to go without saying
that.”

“Noah,”
she said, a horrible feeling in her stomach. “Where exactly are you?”

“The
Blue Flamingo Inn off Hollywood Boulevard. Far, far, far off.” He laughed, and it held no humor. “It has a neon sign of
a blue—surprise!—flamingo that’s flashing right through my window. Looks like
someone stole the curtains.”

Having
already grabbed her laptop, which she’d left beside the bed after answering
some e-mails before sleep claimed her, she found the Blue Flamingo Inn. But
Noah was already gone, having said, “I love your voice, Kit,” in an oddly raw
tone before hanging up.

He
didn’t pick up when she called back.

“Damn
it! Damn it!” She shoved aside the blanket under which she’d been buried,
having turned the AC to ice-cold as she usually did at night. Shivering, she
tugged on a pair of jeans and an old sweatshirt over the panties and tank top
in which she’d gone to sleep.

Pulling
her black hair into a rough ponytail to keep it out of her eyes, she ran
through the house, phone in one pocket, credit card and driver’s license in the
other. In the kitchen, she grabbed her keys off the counter and shoved her feet
into the tennis shoes by the door that led to the garage.

She
was in her car and on the way to the motel three minutes after Noah had hung
up, mouth dry and an ugliness in her gut. “Please be okay, please be okay,
please be okay,” she kept saying, the mantra doing nothing to calm her down,
but at least it kept her mind focused.

She
wanted to call Molly and Fox, or the others in the band, but no one was
currently in the city. Schoolboy Choir had completed the final show in the
band’s hugely successful tour just over two weeks earlier. Day after that,
they’d all gone their separate ways to recharge and regroup.

“Much
as I love these guys,” David had said with a grin that reached the dark gold of
his eyes, “I’ve been looking at their ugly mugs daily for months. We need to go
blow off some steam separately before we start snarling at each other.”

At
the time, Kit had nodded in understanding, having had that same experience
while working on location for long periods. Tonight, however, she wished the
others were all here, not scattered across the country, because something was
very wrong with Noah.

“Noah doesn’t do drugs,” she told herself as
she drove as fast as she dared, not wanting to risk getting pulled over and
further delayed. “He isn’t the kind to—” She couldn’t say it, couldn’t even
think of Noah ending his life. “No,”
she said firmly, her hands white-knuckled on the steering wheel. “Noah isn’t
like that.”

This is a place to talk about books, movies, television shows, TN Titans football, and my life. I will also from time to time talk about friends (both those I've met in person and those I only know from on-line) and family. To help tell more people about the books we love, my friend Nikki joined the blog in 2016 to review even more books. Nikki and I read many of the same books, but we also tend to read different genres in romance too, so we've been able to double the number of books shared each week.
